2014 jeep patriot Model Overview

Vehicle Overview

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re considering the purchase of a Jeep Patriot. If you’re looking to buy a Jeep Patriot, we would suggest making sure you’ve closely examined others in the segment. Why? Because most other modern Jeeps are better vehicles and a Fiat-based replacement Jeep is on the way. Like the mechanically related Compass, the Patriot is available with a base 2.0-liter I-4 that makes 158 hp, or an optional 2.4-liter I-4 that makes 172 hp. Front, or all-wheel drive is available, including a “Trail Rated” all-wheel-drive system designed for serious off-roading. The Patriot’s base transmission is a five-speed manual, with a CVT, and a new-for-2014 six-speed automatic optional.

New for 2007, the Patriot last received an update in 2011. Though unimpressive on-road, the Patriot did surprise us a bit off the beaten path. “Off-road is where the Patriot separates itself from the rest of the compact-crossover set. Its capability was a pleasant surprise. Through deep snow — the hard-packed, icy, non-fluffy kind — the Patriot slid a little, yet never got stuck. In more technical parts of the trails we drove, the small size of this Jeep made it easier to maneuver through and around the trees that lined the trail. And going through mud, over rutted-out sections, and over rocks, the Patriot got through obstacles — on the first try — that would’ve stopped other crossovers.”

On the 2014 Patriot, Jeep has added seat-mounted side-curtain airbags to the crossover’s standard equipment list, and made a six-speed automatic transmission optional.

New for 2014

The 2014 Jeep Patriot is mostly unchanged this year. Its six-speed automatic transmission is an all-new option this year, while seat-mounted side-curtain airbags become standard equipment.
